Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:33): I thank the honourable member for her question, and I refer to all of my answers on this subject this week. A government member: Groundhog day. Mr TURNBULL: It is a bit groundhog day, and it is increasingly challenging to give the same answer. The honourable member must understand—when the GST was introduced, it was never intended to be extended to pharmaceuticals, as you know, and the reasons for that were very cogent. The honourable member should understand that if we are to have a well-informed debate, where people feel free to make various proposals for or against particular measures, then it is important that the government not make the same mistake that the Labor government did when they effectively ruled out the entire Henry tax review after keeping it in a secret locker for the best part of six months after it was delivered. Ms Macklin interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Jagajaga is warned. Mr TURNBULL: What we are seeking to do is to have an open debate. My intuition is that the honourable member does not think that the GST should be extended to pharmaceuticals— Ms King: Or health. The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat has asked her question. The member for Ballarat will not interject. Mr TURNBULL: She should set out why she does not think that, and that would be— Ms Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Griffith will cease interjecting—is now warned. The members on my right will cease interjecting. I think it was the member for Lyons, whose voice I recognise. Thank you for the confirmation, member for Herbert. The member for Ballarat on a point of order, and will state the point of order. Ms King: I have pointed out why I think it is bad to introduce the GST. The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat will resume her seat. The Prime Minister will resume his seat. I asked the member for Ballarat to resume her seat on at least four occasions. She will leave under 94(a). The member for Ballarat then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister can choose to conclude the answer if he wishes. Mr TURNBULL: I have completed my answer, Mr Speaker.
